federated.conf

The following are the spec and example files for federated.conf.

federated.conf.spec

   Version 8.1.1

 This file contains possible setting and value pairs for federated provider entries
 for use in Data Fabric Search (DFS), when the federated search functionality is
 enabled.

 A federated search allows authorized users to run searches across multiple federated
 providers. Only Splunk deployments are supported as federated providers. Information
 on the Splunk deployment (i.e. the federated provider) is added in the federated
 provider stanza of the federated.conf file. A federated search deployment can have
 multiple federated search datasets. The settings for federated search dataset stanzas
 are located in savedsearches.conf.

 To learn more about configuration files (including precedence) please see the
 documentation located at
